Lilly

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

Born: circa 2022/2023 Breed: Herdenschutzhund (mixed breed, approx. 55 cm) compatibility with others: Gets along well, lives in a mixed pack; Cats: Not known, cannot be tested! Current location: animal shelter Istanbul (Turkey) Lilly lives in the intake station in a mixed pack. She doesn't know much yet, having been found as a street dog and brought to the station. A leash and collar must still be learned. We are looking for people with breed experience, ideally with a fenced yard that is dog-safe. Preferably with already existing fellow animals. She is friendly with people but needs some time to build trust. She should be given time and space to settle in quietly.

Derzeitiger Aufenthaltsort: Tierheim Istanbul (Türkei) Lilly lebt in der Auffangstation in einem gemischten Rudel. Sie kennt noch nicht viel, wurde als Straßenhündin gefunden und in die Station gebracht. Leine und Halsband muss sie noch lernen. Für sie suchen wir Menschen mit Rasse-Erfahrung, idealerweise mit einem hundesicher eingezäunten Grundstück. Gerne mit bereits vorhandenen Artgenossen. Zu Menschen ist sie freundlich und aufgeschlossen, braucht aber anfangs ein wenig Zeit um Vertrauen zu fassen. Man sollte ihr Zeit und Raum geben können, damit sie in Ruhe ankommen kann.

About Lilly

What life with Lilly looks like

Lilly is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. in Leichlingen.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Lilly, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lilly?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lilly on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lilly if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Lilly already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Lilly isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lilly and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
